I gotta say that I disagree. I've never had a problem with others knowing my salary (and it's never been a low number) and I've always championed people who I knew were underpaid relative to their effort and talents. People knowing what I made never created an issue for me, but it certainly helped others to negotiate better for themselves. Everyone sharing information equalizes the imbalance of power in the workplace. It may not be comfortable for everyone, but it definitely helps people get what they're worth.
